I used to lay out in a field under the Milky WayWith everything that I was feeling that I could not sayWith every doubt and every sorrow that was in my wayTearing around inside my head like it was there to stay

Night in my eyes, the night inside meThere where the shadows and the night could hide meNight in my eyesSky full of stars turning over meWaiting for night to set me free

I caught a ride into the city every chance I gotI wasn't sure there was a name for the life I soughtNow I'm a long way gone down the life I gotI don't know how I believed some of the things I thought

Night in my eyes, the night inside meHere where the shadows gather to decide meNight in my eyesOut at the end of light and gravityWaiting for night

It takes the night to clear all of this mess awayThe obligation, the burden and the light of dayIt takes the night to fall between the world I obeyAnd a world where I hear angels playMaybe I should go back to Spain

I walk around inside the questions of my dayI navigate the inner reaches of my disarrayI pass the altars where fools and thieves hold swayI wait for night to come and lift this dread away

Night in my eyes, the night inside meHere where the shadows and the light divide meNight in my eyesNight full of promise and uncertaintyWaiting for night to set me free
